Apathy, thou name is life

When did life get so devoid of emotions? Everything is a matter of fact affair. Everybody is so self occupied and prepossessed with the mundane goings on that the feelings and events in somebody else's life, however close or important the other person, does not deserve more than a moment's attention.
You are practically alone in this world, especially when it comes to your feelings and emotions. Long gone are the days when we spent hours of yapping about sweet nothings and discussing our deepest sentiments with our near and dear ones. This is the age of articulation. Be out with it or be off with it. That is what it has come to now.
When and how and did things come to this stage? Maybe it is excess of emotions which culminated in a state of apathy. If it is the load at work place for one, it may be geographical distance for somebody else. Reasons, there is no dearth. But the fact is, the age of "best friend" has come to an end. For all practical purposes, you are your best friend your soul mate and your sole confidant. If you still cannot accept this and believe otherwise, I am afraid, you are up for a heart-break and cruel awakening. All the best to you in that time.
